Identification
Name:Cytosol aminopeptidase
Synonyms:
  • Aminopeptidase A/I
  • Leucine aminopeptidase
  • LAP
  • Leucyl aminopeptidase
Gene Name:pepA
Enzyme Class:
Biological Properties
General Function:Involved in aminopeptidase activity
Specific Function:Presumably involved in the processing and regular turnover of intracellular proteins. Catalyzes the removal of unsubstituted N-terminal amino acids from various peptides. Required for plasmid ColE1 site-specific recombination but not in its aminopeptidase activity. Could act as a structural component of the putative nucleoprotein complex in which the Xer recombination reaction takes place
